Older style low rise apartments. Spotlessly clean, good WIFI, streaming channels, aircon, washer & dryer, full kitchen, hot shower and comfy bed. Excellent location. Very quiet, coffee shop across the road, beach, walking path, park and playground at end of the road. Oasis shopping centre & Woolies less than 5 minute walk and easy walk to Pacific Fair and Broadbeach restaurants. Highly recommend

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was in decent condition. A couple stains on the carpet which isn't a problem really. Dishes were a bit dirty when I arrived, needed to give them a wipe down before I used them. Staff were friendly. Power went out one time when returning to resort which resulted in me and a couple other people being locked out of our rooms. No staff on site as it was sunday and after hours but managed to get in after 15 mins from another resident opening the door and luckily the room door lock was on battery backup. Hot water was the biggest gripe however. Having a shower there sucked as the water would constantly go from hot to cold and back. Almost burnt myself a couple times not expecting the water to go to boiling hot after turning to cold water down due to the shower being cold. Seems like the hot water pressure was going back and forth causing more or less hot water to come out increasing or decreasing the temperature.

The accommodation was close to where we needed to be. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The air conditioner was located in the lounge, not the bedroom. It took awhile to cool the bedroom down.

Great location average lodgings

Best thing about this property is the location. It’s very rundown. Shower is shocking goes from cold to boiling hot every couple of mins. Not that clean lots of dust on skirting boards and lots on ornament on table. Just ok, I have frequented Aruba properties on the Gold Coast and this one is by far the worst.

Very strong smell of bleach on arrival. Lights out, and the unit was crawling with cockroaches and tiny bugs. Excessive pest spray was required to control same. Crockery and cutlery needed a good scrub as did cooking facilities. Unit needs to be totally refurbished. Very disappointing indeed.
